1983, Open-File Report 83-34
Over the last 20 years there has been a shift from dryland to irrigated agriculture in parts of Gilliam, Morrow, and Umatilla Counties in northeastern Oregon. Some irrigation water used in this area obtained from surface sources, but a significant amount is obtained from wells. The principal aquifer in the...
Time series analysis of Cenozoic era sea level and paleotemperature data
George H. Rosenfield, Tod E. Huffman
1983, Open-File Report 83-566
A statistical analysis of Cenozoic era sea level and paleotemperature data was performed to determine the cycles of each data set and the correspondence between them. Accordingly, each of the four time series were first analyzed independently in the univariate mode of a spectral analysis. The two basic data sets...
